Text: Chapter 82
Time flies quickly, in the blink of an eye, it is three days, Chen Rui has been shrinking in the room in the restaurant, except for drinking medicine and eating, he will not take a step out of the room at all.
At this time, a monk who was so obese that he looked obscene strode into the east gate of Fengming City very arrogantly.
"Hey, I said bald monk, how can you be so obese as a monk, aren't you a charlatan who cheats to eat and drink? And are you wearing the wrong clothes, although the fortune teller Taoist priest is barely half of your peers, you can't wear a Taoist robe, if you want to deceive people, you have to be professional, you know no. "The guards at the East City Gate often play tricks on passers-by, how could they let go of the opportunity to ridicule this fat man in a strange dress.
The fat monk obviously cared about the words of the city guard, he patted his buttocks and sneered: "Young man, you are a guard of the capital, you are not good looking, why do you talk so much nonsense, could it be that you are a thief pretending to be a guard? Otherwise, how strange is your look at the poor monk's eyes, I can tell you in advance, although I am handsome and dignified, although I am handsome and dignified, I don't wear gold and silver, and I don't have any oil and water." ”
The guard was very annoyed by the fat monk's ridicule, and he wanted to step forward to teach this guy a lesson, but as soon as he took a step forward, he was stopped by his companion behind him. The guard turned his head and saw that it was the senior in the class, and he resisted the impulse.
"I said Yan Ping, do you have eyesight, this fat man is definitely not an ordinary person. Look at the edge of his robe, walking on this muddy mountain road, he hasn't even touched a drop of slush. And you don't know the mountain road outside our east gate, it's easy to go downhill naturally, but it's different to come up. More than ten miles of road Changpo, such a fat person, actually blushing and not panting, is definitely a practitioner, if you still want to continue to provoke others, you will suffer a loss when the time comes, don't blame my brother I didn't remind you. It turned out that the guard who ridiculed the fat monk was called Yan Ping, which reminded him that he was an old guard who had guarded the city gate for seven or eight years, and his judgment of the passing crowd was called a quasi, who was to be provoked and who should not be provoked, he was clear.
After listening to the words of his predecessors, Yan Ping stepped aside, he knew that if he really offended something unusual in his small role, he would be sad in the future.
"It's rare for someone to know the goods!" the fat monk praised, "Boy, you are not ordinary, why don't you pay two dollars, and the poor road will calculate a hexagram for you, not more, just a meal of wine is enough, do you think it's good?"
The old guard listened to this fat man for a while a poor monk, and then called himself a poor man, obviously not a serious master, but he couldn't offend others, so he took out a tael of silver and said: "Don't bother the fat man, these two silver coins should be regarded as an apology for my junior who doesn't know the height of the sky, and I hope the fat man will smile." ”
The fat monk rushed to this Fengming City, just happened to be hungry, and was thinking about whether to go back to his old business, set up a stall to tell the fortune, this someone sent the silver for nothing, he took the silver and stuffed it into his arms, and pretended to say: "Since you are so sincere as a guard, I will collect your money for the Buddha in the temple, and I will help you say a few more good words to keep you safe......"
After pulling a lot of what was and didn't, the fat monk left the place with a bright smile, leaving only a group of people sighing at his brazenness in place.
The fat monk walked on the city road paved with blue bricks, looking left and right, looking at the pedestrians coming and going. At this time, a slender figure of a young man came into view, and the young man walked with difficulty with a wooden barrel in both hands.
The boy was a man in the Juxian Pavilion, and the bucket was filled with leftover food, which he hurriedly poured out of the city.
"Hey, I said little brother, which restaurant are you from, can you tell me. The fat monk grabbed the young man, licked his tongue and asked.
The young man had been resting for a while, but when he met someone to ask, he put down the wooden barrel in his hand and replied: "I am the best restaurant in the city, a guy from Juxian Pavilion, what's the matter, the Taoist chief is going to our restaurant to rest?" The young man was short, and he couldn't see the ring scar on the fat monk's head, thinking that the fat monk was a Taoist priest.
"Boy, you have good eyesight, Dao Ye, I just smell the aroma in your bucket, and I know that your food must be excellent, I wonder if you can take me there?" The fat monk shrugged his nose proudly, proud of his sense of smell.
The boy looked up and smiled, "Of course, but you'll have to wait until I've cleaned up the leftovers in this barrel." ”
The fat monk rubbed his hands, nodded and said, "Okay, go and come back quickly." ”
As soon as the young man took two steps, the fat monk repented, it turned out that he had just expanded his spiritual sense and found the restaurant of Juxian Pavilion, and he also found an acquaintance, who was Chen Rui who was sitting in the room meditating.
"Huh?" Chen Rui opened his eyes, looked at the street to the east, and then unfolded his spiritual sense to explore, "It's my delusion, I have long observed the people in this city, there can't be other monks." ”
"Dao Chief, what's wrong?" the young man asked, puzzled.
"You take these two pieces of silver, pour the leftovers in the wooden barrel in this young man's hand, and send the wooden barrel to Juxian Pavilion later. The fat monk took out the silver he had taken from the guards and handed it to the vendor who was drinking tea.
When the little vendor saw that something good was coming, he took the barrel from the young man's hand and ran away.
"It's nothing, hurry up and take me to Juxian Pavilion. The corners of the fat monk's mouth curled, the reason why he took this young man was on purpose. The scene where he squandered the silver just now gave the young man the feeling of a local tyrant, wait for him to eat first, and then go to find Chen Rui, if someone asks him to take out the silver money first, it would be bad, just borrow the silver money fox fake tiger power.
......
"Young man, take me to the private room and serve all the best food in your restaurant. Although the fat man had no money, his tone did not show any timidity at all, and he looked like he was full of money.
Seeing the fat Taoist's generous shot just now, the young man did not have any doubts about the fat man's net worth, and he took the fat monk directly to a private room.
Out of the private room, two young men gathered around the boy and asked.
"Is this fat man rich? I don't think his clothes are like those of the rich and rich. ”
"That is, if you look at him, he obviously has a ring scar on his head, but he is wearing a Taoist robe, and he has ordered so much wine and meat, will he eat white food? ”
The young man told the fat man and the tyrant just now, and when the two of them heard it, they were silent, and after a while, they sighed, "People can't be good-looking!"
However, after the food was served, the young man also had a trace of suspicion about the fat man, he stayed closely outside the door of the private room, and from time to time stretched out his head to peek at the people in the private room, as if he was afraid that the fat man would suddenly disappear.
The fat monk feasted in the private room, eating happily, and didn't care about the young man's actions, just enjoying the food and wine in front of him.
Half an hour later, Fat He walked out of the private room with the door frame, he glanced at the young man who was dozing, and ordered, "Young man, go with me to get money." ”
As soon as the young man heard the word "withdraw money", he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Where to take it?"
"Hehe, look at your bear-like appearance, don't be afraid, it's in this Juxian Pavilion, you just follow. The fat monk used his fingers to snap his teeth and flick the young man's brainstorm.
The young man was suspicious, rubbed his bounced forehead, and followed the fat monk closely.
"This, this is Chen Gongzi's room, do you recognize him?" In the past few days, people have been sending things to Chen Rui's room, and the people who come are not only the street overlord bait, but also the grandfather of Dai Mansion, and even the big housekeeper of Pingbian Mansion have come, and the guys in the store have long been talking about Chen Rui's identity, knowing that this Chen Gongzi is not small.
"Of course, the money for this meal will be paid to you later. The fat monk smiled very thiefly, and wanted to flick the young man's forehead with his fingers, but this time the young man noticed it in advance and dodged it.
"Bang!"
The fat monk walked to the door, didn't knock, and kicked the door open, as if he had known that the door was just hidden.
The fat monk's kick frightened the young man, and the young man ran away without looking back, who cares about the money for the meal and wine, where is this money, it is obviously taking his life, offending such a big person, it can be regarded as pouring blood mold.
"Alas!
Chen Rui looked at the fat man outside the door, he was angry, he was put on a fight by this guy last time, and he almost fought with others, he always wanted to find him for an explanation, but he didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to find the door.
"Master Chen, don't come unharmed, old friends meet, why don't you welcome it, and you still have a stinky face, not good, not good!" said the fat monk leaning against the door frame and making a gesture that he thought was very elegant.
"Hehe, Ma Liam suddenly visited today, I don't know what you are doing?" Chen Rui felt a powerful spiritual sense just now, it is not surprising that it is this fat monk's, who can far avoid the detection of his spiritual sense, it seems that this fat man's cultivation is only higher than his own, not low, so Chen Rui's attitude towards the fat monk has no special emotions, just a little ridicule.
The fat monk walked in the door and said with a cheeky face: "What 'liar brother', my surname is Ma, call me Brother Ma or... Well, 'no false person'. ”
Chen Rui just smiled at the "innocent real person" that the fat man just came up with, and he said half-truthfully: "This 'innocent' is that you can't remember the meaning of not being able to lie, this is really in line with your character." ”
The fat monk shook his head and said, "Naturally not, but you and I are only one side, how can you see my character, for example, what I came here today, I guarantee that Brother Chen will change his opinion of me." ”
